Hi all, I've had a look at the recipe for vim in meta-oe, it's currently a full release behind upstream and applies patches to the 7.2 source to get version 7.2.446. We have a recipe which provides mercurial-native in meta-oe so we should be capable of pulling the upstream sources directly from vim.googlecode.com. We can easily pull a given version, I've wrote a recipe to build vim 7.3.875 which I'm going to update to the latest version and look at testing over this weekend (it builds but I want to do some basic runtime testing).
If I get this working and it downloads sources via mercurial is it likely to be accepted? A quick grep doesn't show any other packages using source URLs beginning "hg://". I've also found that just installing vim doesn't give me everything I expect, I also need vim-syntax, vim-help, vim-tutor, vim-vimrc and vim-data. I think for most applications where people want to install vim over using plain vi they probably want these extra runtime files. Is it worth creating a package group to install all these together and/or setting RRECOMMENDS for vim?
